The best superhero movies in 2023

2022 has been a banner year for Warner Bros in making big-screen DC films. It brought in new leadership at DC Studios in James Gunn and Peter Safran.

This new mode at the top of the DC Universe has sparked interest in the franchise, and

The most popular DC films

The metric is a multiple of the demand for the average movie over the same period of time. Here is a list of the 10 most in-demand DC movies of 2022 based on this parameter.

10. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Coming in at number 10 is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Ben Affleck’s Batman faces off against Henry Cavil’s Superman. Despite being almost seven years old, the 2016 blockbuster was still the focus of audiences’ attention. Demand for it was 10.30 times higher than the Parrot Analytics average.

9. Birds of Prey

Another legacy that made the list was the 2020 film Birds of Prey. Harley Quinn’s solo story has become very popular. And big names like Margot Robbie, who discussed the future in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC universe, certainly had to make the top ten.

8. Man of Steel

Man of Steel was able to keep audiences interested in the film more than 10 years after it was released in theaters. The DCEU launch film is likely to have increased interest in 2022 due to Henry Cavill’s return situation.

7. Shazam!

“Shazam!” is on this list because the sequel is coming out very soon. Add to that the fact that the Shazam character is closely tied to the DCEU’s only stellar 2022 film, Black Adam, and it’s easy to see why the super-powered comedy made it onto this list.

6. Aquaman

Another DC film with a sequel on the horizon is 2018’s Aquaman. This high level of demand is likely due to the release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom later this year, as well as Jason Momoa becoming one of the biggest names in Hollywood.

5. Joker

Todd Phillips directed the Gotham-based drama, which will have a sequel next year, Joker: Foley for Two. Additionally, being as big as Joker, with star Joaquin Phoenix winning Oscar glory at the 2020 ceremony, the film is unique among its DC brethren in that it resonates with fans and audiences alike.

4. Black Adam

As the DCEU’s only theatrical release of 2022, one would expect Black Adam to appear on this list; What’s interesting, however, is how it was beaten by three other films (two of which weren’t even released last year). This is likely due to the fact that Black Adam isn’t necessarily a household name at this point, despite the best efforts of star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

3. Suicide Squad

Ranked as the third most in-demand DC movie of 2022, Suicide Squad likely has a lot to do with its director. With DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn making his DC debut, the film likely generated a lot of interest among audiences who wanted to see who the new DC chief would be. It also helps that the critically acclaimed film had an equally beloved TV spin-off last year in Peacemaker, starring Jon Sen.

2. Wonder Woman 1984

Despite receiving dismal reviews back in December 2020, it appears that Wonder Woman 1984 has remained on the minds of many, coming in at number two in Parrot’s data. This increased interest is likely due to conversations about star Gal Gadot’s future with the franchise and the cancellation of Wonder Woman 3.

1. Batman

At the top of the list is Matt Reeves’ The Batman. This new take on the caped crusader’s world has captivated audiences for much of the past year, with the DC epic becoming one of the biggest films of 2022. Upon release, The Batman managed to stay on the lips with the announcement of several additional projects, generating 61.55 times more interest than the Parrot Analytics average.
